The Republican National Committee on Thursday supplemented its Oct. 6 complaint to the Federal Election Committee and — citing new revelations by Newsmax and other news organizations — called on the FEC to “immediately conduct a full audit” of the Obama campaign accounts. The RNC complaint asserts that the Obama campaign had demonstrated a “lack of compliance with the law” because of its acceptance of prohibited donations from foreign nationals, excessive contributions from individuals, and donations from unknown sources. At the same time, RNC officials said they recognize that the FEC has “no authority” to freeze campaign accounts or to take other actions that would actually prevent the Obama campaign from spending money illegally obtained from foreign nationals to influence the U.S. presidential election. “The system isn’t designed for actors who are going to ignore the law,” RNC chief legal counsel Sean Cairncross told Newsmax. A Newsmax analysis of the Obama campaign’s campaign finance disclosures found 60,000 donations in unrounded amounts that fundraising experts said clearly suggested were “foreign currency transactions” translated into U.S. dollars. www.newsmax.com/insidecover/obama_foreign_donors/2008/10/23/143619.html?s=al&promo_code=6E1A-1 |

Angrypuppy, just curious but do they telepathically transmit this stuff into your wingnut brain? Is there a receiver in your head or in your house? I have to admit the same silly articles appear from the right wing media so quickly I wonder if corporate media has large transmitters to keep you all in check and on the same page?

McCain: Pundits Being Fooled, Promises Victory Tuesday, October 28, 2008 4:20 PM Article Font Size HERSHEY, Pa. — Republican John McCain and running mate Sarah Palin told a Pennsylvania audience Tuesday that "it's wonderful to fool the pundits" and vowed to pull out an upset win over Democratic rival Barack Obama. "I'm not afraid of the fight, I'm ready for it," said McCain, continuing his sharp assault on Obama in a noisy rally opening his campaign day. Palin defended the campaign's harsh attacks on Obama. "Our opponent is not being candid with you about his tax plans," said Palin. "It is not mean-spirited, and it is not negative campaigning to call out someone on their record." The rally was interrupted briefly by Obama backers waving signs, a move Palin dismissed. "When we get a protest like that I'm always tempted to tell security, `let them stay, maybe they'll learn a thing or two,'" said Palin. www.newsmax.com/insidecover/mccain_pundits_fooled/2008/10/28/145035.html |

McCain Demands L.A. Times Release Video Wednesday, October 29, 2008 8:50 AM By: Jim Meyers Article Font Size The John McCain campaign is demanding that the Los Angeles Times release a videotape showing Barack Obama at an event in Chicago honoring a Palestinian activist who reportedly served as a spokesman for Yasser Arafat. As Newsmax reported on Tuesday, the 2003 event was a farewell party for Rashid Khalidi, who was leaving the University of Chicago to take a position at Columbia University in New York. Obama, then an Illinois state senator, lavished praise on Khalidi at the party, as did unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, according to Andrew C. McCarthy, contributing editor at National Review, who disclosed Khalidi’s link to “master terrorist” Arafat. The Times confirmed in April that it had a copy of the videotape. Several hours after the Newsmax story appeared, McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb said: “A major news organization is intentionally suppressing information that could provoke a clearer link between Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi.” www.newsmax.com/insidecover/mccain_la_times_tape/2008/10/29/145289.html |

Sarkozy Blasts Obama on Iran Wednesday, October 29, 2008 7:48 AM By: David A. Patten Article Font Size Denouncing Barack Obama’s Iran policies as “utterly immature” and “empty of all content,” French President Nicolas Sarkozy dropped an international diplomatic and political bombshell Tuesday. News of Sarkozy’s outburst, which reportedly occurred behind closed doors during a French forum on foreign policy, was leaked to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz by a senior Israeli government source. Sarkozy has led a coalition of six nations that has imposed sanctions against Iran’s nuclear ambitions. That bloc consists of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- France, the United States, China, Russia, and the United Kingdom -- plus Germany. To deter Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Sarkozy maintains the group must present a united diplomatic front to Iran. During his July tour of Europe, Obama met with Sarkozy in Paris. Sarkozy told Obama that it would be “very problematic” if the United States were to soften its policy toward Iran, Haaretz reports. Obama has maintained throughout the campaign that he would be willing to meet with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without diplomatic preconditions. That would represent a significant departure from the policies pursued by other recent U.S. presidents. The United States has had no official diplomatic relations with Iran since it released the 52 diplomats who were held hostage for over 440 days following the 1979 seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran. www.newsmax.com/insidecover/sarkozy_obama_iran/2008/10/29/145259.html |
